Description:
Enable selection of multiple widgets simultaneously in Loopy Pro’s UI to allow editing of shared settings—such as size, label, color, action bindings, and positioning—in a single operation.
Problem:
  • Currently, each widget must be edited one at a time.
  • Repetitive adjustments (e.g., resizing, relabeling) across many widgets become tedious and time-consuming.
  • Inconsistent formatting or misalignment can occur when manually editing widgets individually, disrupting visual layouts and user experience.
Proposed Solution:
  • Implement multi-select functionality (e.g., Shift‑click, click‑drag, or lasso tool) for widgets.
  • When multiple widgets are selected, show only the common editable properties.
  • Allow batch changes to these properties and apply them simultaneously across all selected widgets.
Benefits:
  • Streamlines layout design and consistency across control panels.
  • Saves time when applying formatting or binding similar actions to multiple widgets.
  • Reduces layout errors and improves visual coherence.
Examples:
  • Select five buttons at once and change their background color or label prefix in one action.
  • Align a group of grid toggles to the same size and position.
  • Assign the same MIDI or keyboard action to several widgets simultaneously.

Original Post:
Be able to select multiple widgets and edit basic properties (for example those that appear when you click/tap the cog at the top such as font size) that are common to all selected to enable more efficient and consistent formatting.
